Chapter 674: Chapter 670: Final Battle (28)
South Ridge Beast Valley Wind Media Tower
The bells, which had not been quiet since morning, were rung once again. A vague sense of foreboding filled Mi Jin’s heart as she just finished settling the returning soldiers from various clans. She calmly asked the anxious-looking Wind Media leader who was approaching, “What happened this time?”
The unrest in the new city, the unaccounted whereabouts of Mi Shen, the rebelliousness of the beasts in the Beast Valley, these consecutive events were enough to frustrate anyone. But still, Mi Jin maintained an incredibly calm demeanor, which managed to calm down the flustered Wind Media leader. He reported in a deep voice: “Clan leader, the Xiao Clan members residing in the Other Mountain Courtyard are moving towards Tomb Valley, where the Cao Clan is located, under the lead of Xiao Qi. However, we have not seen the General Manager of Safety, Anfu. Should we send troops to stop them?”
At this time, when the Beast Valley was in turmoil and a large number of main lineage Martial Ancestors had not returned, it was the most sensitive time for Mi Clan of South Ridge. The sudden movements of the Xiao Clan’s Martial Ancestors undeniably struck a nerve in Wind Media leader. Even if their target isn’t South Ridge, it still fills one with a strong sense of crisis.
“What’s the status of the situation in the new city?”
“Clan Leader, six Martial Ancestors have quelled the rebellion in the city. However, more than a dozen small alliance teams have scattered and fled to the mountains. The Blood Crow spiritual birds are not heeding orders, so it will take some time to locate these people.”
“No need to worry about those people. Immediately send a message to Mi Chen’s Avatar and have him intercept Xiao Qi and the others. On no account are they allowed to get close to Tomb Valley!”
“Yes, Clan Leader!” The Wind Media leader left to fulfill his task and the bell on the tower was rung again.
Mi Jin’s thick eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly and then quickly returned to their normal state. In face of another anxious Wind Media leader, he maintained his calm composure as if everything was well under control.
“Speak.”
“Clan Leader, a large number of ice boats suddenly appeared in North Mountain, and the headquarters of the Tang Clan in Xiangyun Valley is moving towards the shore. Judging by their location, it seems they intend to attack South Ridge. We should prepare early!”
“I see, you can go.” Mi Jin spoke lightly, but his heart was like a raging fire. Why now of all times!?
The Mi Clan leader, renowned in Xiling for his strategic planning, was starting to feel like everything was spiraling out of control.
The new city, which has already been drained of value, suddenly rioted. The Xiao Clan, who has absolutely zero links with the Tang Clan, are acting strangely. The most important Beast Valley in South Ridge is suddenly out of control, with thousands of years’ worth of tamed beasts refusing to obey commands.
It seems as if the allied forces of the Mi Clan, who have had a good run of luck since the great flood, are now experiencing what they call “blowback”.
Mi Jin would not have thought so originally, but the ensuing inexplicable urgent reports forced him to think this way.
Purging these dismal thoughts from his mind, Mi Jin sat in the core command center of the Mi Clan and gave an order. “Alert all clan leaders about Tang Clan’s plan to counterattack, instruct Martial Hall to activate South Ridge’s Mountain Protection array, summon the ancestral hall’s avatars and have them immediately head to Beast valley to investigate the cause of the beast rebellion and estimate how many spiritual birds can still be controlled.”
Luckily, the Mi Clan still has the Mountain Protection Array that they spent a lot of money to build. Otherwise, when faced with Tang Zhi’s sudden counterattack, he would have been completely bewildered.
Now, relying on the large formation to battle the Tang Clan, he should be able to hold on until the main lineage Martial Ancestors come to aid.”
With the clan leader’s order, the huge intelligence network sprung into frantic action, with messages being sent to various parts of South Ridge through the Wind Media. The various Martial Ancestors who had just returned from the battlefield, were furious to hear that the Tang Clan dared to counterattack, their anger threatening to rip apart the dark clouds overhead.
Originally, these people may have just wanted to lend a hand, but after losing so many clan members, every family harbored a deep hatred for the Tang Clan. They brought out all their strength, gathered quickly at the edge of South Ridge, waiting for the Tang Clan to step into the trap themselves.
The six of Mi Chen’s group who had just quelled the new city’s rebellion also blocked Xiao Qi’s group after receiving the order.
Standing in mid-air, Mi Chen and the five Mi Clan Martial Ancestors projected an aura no less intimidating. “Young Clan Leader Xiao, where exactly are you going?” he asked coldly.
Xiao Qi stood still in mid-air with a smile, “I’m going to Tomb Valley to visit an old friend.”
“Oh? May I ask who this old friend is?”
“It’s the Cao Clan’s leader, Cao Xiong.”
“Unfortunately, I’ve just received orders from the Clan Leader. It seems Tang Zhi is leading people to counterattack South Ridge, and all the Martial Ancestors of the allied forces should be rushing to shore. If Young Clan Leader wants to find Clan Leader Cao, it would be ideal to go to the harbor.”
“Is Clan Leader Cao actually not in Tomb Valley?” Xiao Qi shook his head helplessly, then turned to an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face. “Elder Clan Leader, it seems my excuse is useless. I’ll have to force my way through.”
Before he finished speaking, seven multicolored divine dragons suddenly manifested beside Mi Chen and his group and attacked fiercely.
They were executing the Xiao Clan’s Monument Dragon Diagram’s ultimate technique—Divine Dragon Shadow.
The Monument Dragon Diagram, fused with nine different kinds of spiritual power, was no less powerful than a peak-level Fierce Realm attack. This was fundamentally why the Xiao Clan’s warriors were able to dominate as the third world family in Xiling.
Surprised and angry, the six of Mi Chen knew they couldn’t resolve this peacefully with Xiao Clan. Faced with this extremely fierce attack, they had no choice but to use the Qingmu Battle Body to guard!
Six Qingmu Demon Shadows collided fiercely with seven multicolored giant dragons. The explosive spiritual resonance turned into a violent wind that bent the trees around them. The Xiao Clan warriors already prepared a second round of combined attacks and waited for Mi Chen and his group to reveal themselves.
Although the Xiao Clan brought their top-level Martial Ancestors, Xiao Qi was not afraid in his heart. Because standing by his side now were six Xiao Clan elders and the former Clan leader, Xiao Baihe. Including him, there were eight top-level Martial Ancestors all together.
As soon as Xiao Clan made a move, Mi Chen knew they were in trouble. So while defending against the first round of attack, he issued a retreat order.
The elements of Xuanji Jade shone brightly. The six Mi Clan Martial Ancestors, who were supposed to stand before Xiao Clan, were already five miles away, fleeing in different directions without looking back.
“Stop the combined attack and hurry to South Ridge’s main peak!” Xiao Baihe looked at the distance; considering the flying speed of the Xiao Clan’s warriors, it was impossible to chase. So he issued another order on the spot.
Going to Tomb Valley was just an excuse. The picture that Xiao Qi got from Mi Shen’s mind showed that South Ridge’s Mountain Protection Array is situated under Mi Clan’s Martial Hall, while Mi Clan’s Martial Hall is located half way up the main peak of South Ridge.
They had to get into the main peak’s territory before the activation of the Mountain Protection Array. Otherwise, they would be isolated out by the array. Trying to blast Mi Clan’s large array, which had been reinforced for thousands of years, was simply a pipe dream.
This array was initially set up to resist the beast tide, because in the beginning, the Mi Clan’s tamed bird technique was unstable. Often, birds would break the shackles and rebel. Specifically, those spiritual birds carrying beast bloodlines would go berserk regularly.
But even those rebellion birds, bred by the Mi Clan, were not to be killed. So every time the rebelliousness occurred, the beast tamers of the Mi Clan would shrink behind the large array and wait for the rebellion to end.
